I've tried everything else including the cocktail stick and bent pin inserted inside the port to try and free micro switch - nothing worked it was stuck fast. I then took an old set of headphones and re-inserted / removed them from the audio port approx 20 times in and out with music playing on the MBP - intially when inserted music will only come from headphones then eventually MBP internal speakers start working ! (I performed this whole excercise outside where the WD40 could drain out without an issue -) Mojave: In macOS 10.14.4, Apple improved the reliability of USB audio issues in the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac mini. macOS 10.15.5 fixed a bug in the T2 chip wherein internal speakers in sound output devices may not appear in the preferences. Held MBP that way for 30 seconds giving MBP a shake to drain WD40 out Non-notarized apps were not allowed, meaning that any older audio plugin will no longer work. Took WD40 can with straw dispenser and placed straw inside audio port - sprayed 3 or 4 one second burst of WD40 into port. I only have sound-in audio issues in OBS and no other applications. Held Macbookpro on it's side with screen open and headphone/ audio port facing toward ground. The fix won't be liked by Apple Support, the genius bar, or the repair shops but it worked for me after over 12 months of using headphones / external speakers - WHAT A PIA ! I finally fixed mine myself but posting reply for others who have same issue as this - however buyer beware folks, try this at your own risk !!! Judging by the date and lack of further activity I assume you managed to get yours fixed at the genius bar ? With Bluetooth, pairing devices can be tedious and requires disconnecting one device before another can connect.īoth options work with iOS, Android and laptops.I agree Nick - it is a concern especially on such a basic function (sound) - Linc is right, the issue is microswitch, sounds like a bad design or a huge batch of sub quality switches, checking the forums this issue is common on MBP's. With WiFi every mobile device on the network can connect and control your speakers. Select Chromecast built-in speakers can be grouped together to play the same song everywhere.Ĭasting music over WiFi doesn’t drain your battery, while pairing from Bluetooth does. With Bluetooth, your phone needs to be near the speaker or the music will stop playing. With Bluetooth, phone calls and notifications are heard over the speakers.Ĭhromecast built-in speakers stream music over WiFi, which means you can control the music from anywhere within your WiFi network. With WiFi streaming, your music keeps playing without disruption, even if you get a phone call or a text.


Take a call without interrupting what's casting With Bluetooth, audio is re-compressed, which can compromise sound quality.

With WiFi, music streams from the cloud so the music sounds exactly the way the artist intended.
